What's Become of Waring
''What’s Become of Waring'' is the fifth novel by the English writer Anthony Powell. It is his final novel of the 1930s, and the only one not published by Powell’s first employer and publisher, Duckworth. Published in 1939, Powell’s book was overshadowed by international events, limiting sales. Nonetheless, it marks a significant step in Powell’s development, anticipating his masterpiece, ''A Dance to the Music of Time'', via the introduction of the self-effacing first-person narrator. The title of the book is also the title of a poem by Robert Browning.
==Plot introduction==
''What’s Become of Waring'' is set in large part in the publishing firm of Judkins and Judkins, and informed by Powell’s experiences with both Duckworth and Warner Brothers. Dinner parties and seances abound, featuring unusual and uncomfortable mixtures of guests. Coincidence, often noted as a significant feature of ''Dance'', here plays a larger role than in any of Powell’s other early fiction. The novel shows clearly the relative thinness of the curtain of civility with which society wraps itself and how easily that fabric frays.
